RTC X Roads is such a busy area! Hope the traffic police are managing the situation. Fire vehicles need clear access. Thoughts with the firefighters on the ground.
Working nearby. Saw the smoke and heard the sirens. Response was impressively fast. Kudos to the emergency services. The official's quote is reassuring.
A cellar fire is serious. What was stored there? Hopefully no important documents related to bus services were lost. The Bus Bhavan handles so much administration for TSRTC.
No casualties is the best news. But we must ask the tough question: was the fire safety equipment in the building functional and were staff trained? Often these checks exist only on paper.
Hyderabad's fire department is quite efficient. Remember the incident in Secunderabad last year? They managed it well too. Stay safe, everyone!
